Great shots....I like the idea that Millie has to struggle. My little devils roll in snow like all dogs so I take no notice. Twice in this cold snap they have found badger crap to roll in. I'm an expert in mammal crap. Thanks to my two I can tell fox, badger, dead seal and Grey Lag Goose at five yards.

Although we have nowhere near as much snow as you, it is still way too cold for my liking, and I am so sorry for the flowers and the birds and everything else that just wants to go ahead doing what they always do in spring (myself included).

Yikes. Will winter ever leave England? I'm almost embarrassed to tell you that we have sunshine, green grass and flowers blooming. And they say our climate is very close to that of England's. Not this year. Sending sympathy.

This looks very much like my world right now ... except for the castle. Wonderful photos and how I know that stopping for smells under the snow. Was thinking of your dear Benno... I bet you still think of him all the time... they are so special, aren't they?

Our snow has melted because the sun shines every day, although it is cold out there. I don't mind one bit and like to see the ground beneath my feet. Just a few more weeks, Friko, and we'll be sitting in outdoor cafes.

Friko, that shot of the ghostly castle is fantastic. And you are right, it certainly is no climate for Easter bonnets. As it is, the Easter Bunny is going to have difficulty hopping through all that snow. But you never know, maybe by some miracle the sun will come out Easter Sunday morning and winter will finally be over.

It's beautiful - and you'll marvel at the images come July.....but by now you must be weary of the never-ending snow. I wish you a thaw that comes quickly enough to bring on a blaze of blossoms by not so quickly that it causes flooding.

The sun shines here, for example - so I do believe it.Remember when we had snow at Easter in Germany? I remember how I hated any snow after the official begining of spring. And it seemed that every year there was some winter in spring - at least this is how I remember it. And at those moments I appreciate my beautiful Northern Californian climate.

Hello Friko, well today we finally broke the freezing point (the warm side) It war +2*C and supposed to get warmer from here on but slowly I hope. We have mountains of snow here and don't need any flooding. Hope it warms up for you soon.

Hi Friko - the weather is desperate for so many - the photos that are coming out from further west and Ireland - remind me of my posts I did on those appalling years in the 1940s, 50s and 60s ... It is so sad for family farmers who've been through really tough times in recent years ..

Beautiful photos though ... with thoughts - there was a dusting of snow on Box Hill when I went up to London yesterday ... and it certainly wasn't thinking of thawing, London was freezing too ...

In January I would have written, how beautiful ! But now end March I am allergic to white especially snow !! Ours just melted away but it is still very cold and freezing. The last I can say, you were very spoiled with snow this year !!

Thank you for your comment on my post on Visiona and Verb! Seeing these beautiful images of where you live I understand completely how you would be in love with it and at the same time want to stray!!!! We share that actually.......

Your world is so gorgeous Friko! Just like a fairyland. I wish there had been at least one day of snow here this year. We had a sprinkle yesterday morning but in less than 15 minutes it was gone. I understand it’s not easy when it snows so much, but it is so beautiful.

Hello, and thank you so much for stopping by. These pictures are beautiful, but then I love a snow filled landscape. I hear they have snow in Sweden too right now. Here, spring is on it's way, but we have had snow as late as June up here in the mountains so nothing is for sure.
